About this episode

Ciarra shares her journey of reconciling her queer identity with her faith after being raised in a conservative Christian environment.

Part 2 of 2 This week, I'm joined by Ciarra, also known as The Gardening Theologian. Raised in a conservative Christian environment, Ciarra learned early to suppress her queer identity and accept the version of God she had been given. But after attending Berkeley, Harvard Divinity School, studying theology, and wrestling with difficult questions, everything changed. In this episode, we talk about liberation theology, queer identity, white supremacy in the church, and what it looks like to rebuild your spirituality after realizing the image of God you inherited wasn't the only one available. - Ciarra’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegardeningtheologian Ciarra’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/thegardeningtheologian/ Ciarra Jones Consulting: https://ciarrajonesconsulting.com/ Ciarra’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegardeningtheologian - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more: Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠ Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠ Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠ Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠ Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠…
